ext4: fix race condition between ext4_write and ext4_convert_inline_data

Hulk Robot reported a BUG_ON:

handle=NULL
ext4_journal_stop(handle)
__ext4_journal_stop
ext4_put_nojournal(handle)
ref_cnt = (unsigned long)handle
BUG_ON(ref_cnt == 0) ---> BUG_ON

The lock held by ext4_convert_inline_data is xattr_sem, but the lock held by generic_perform_write is i_rwsem. Therefore, the two locks can be concurrent.

To solve above issue, we add inode_lock() for ext4_convert_inline_data(). At the same time, move ext4_convert_inline_data() in front of ext4_punch_hole(), remove similar handling from ext4_punch_hole().
